The hotel is so ugly from the outside that it's hard to compare to the Intercontinental, especially in a city with so many beautiful high-rises, however, the location is superb - not far from Paris Street and Prague's high fashion streets, just a short walk from the Old Town Square, the famous Astronomical Clock, and many of its rooms offer great views of the Vltava river. The hotel has many amenities, including full breakfasts in its Primator restaurant and dinners on the rooftop restaurant Zlata, with great views of the city. The room itself (428) was spacious enough, with ordinary decor, very comfortable beds (not two twins pushed together like in many European hotels), and a wide selection of pillows, including "plastic surgery" pillows. The hotel's indoor "salt water pool" is nice enough, and while there is no lap pool, the gym is large and has a lot of exercise equipment (a small drawback is that the gym closes at 10 pm on weekends and opens at 8 pm). The hotel lobby and decor give the impression of the country's former socialist past, and there are not many people at the front desk to check in. The food in the restaurant was expensive, probably due to the location, and not worth the money, for example breakfast was 450 kronor per person (about $25 USD), and the three course dinner in the Zlata restaurant cost us $100 USD, which was good but not great. All in all, it's a great hotel for location and comfort, but it won't appeal to everyone.
